FAQs about EHRs

For the past couple of years, EHRs (Electronic Health Records) have been in the news quite a bit. Beginning this year, if a provider’s office has not switched to EHRs, they will begin to lose some of their reimbursements from Medicare. And as a company that provides EHR scanning in PA, we have kept a close eye on this law and its effects on providers’ offices throughout the area. Here is a brief rundown of some frequently asked questions about EHRs and EHR scanning services.

Q: What are some of the advantages of EHRs?
